Unfortunately, Joya went home without any medals despite being a fan favorite.

The title of best in the show instead went to Baxter. The flat-coated retriever wasn’t content to receive the winner’s rosette – he wanted to eat it too.

Mr. Oware told Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre: ‘It’s amazing. I’m proud of him.’
